Penrith Development Control Plan 2014

Development Control Plans (DCPs) are documents that supplement the provisions of Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) with more detailed planning and design guidelines.

The Penrith Development Control Plan 2014 (Penrith DCP 2014) has been prepared to support all planning instruments applying to the Penrith Local Government Area (LGA), including the Penrith LEP 2010. It represents a consolidation of all previous DCPs which applied to the
City so that a single, City-wide DCP applies to the LGA. In addition, the DCP includes two new sections to guide development in the Penrith Health and Education Precinct and the Riverlink Precinct.

The Penrith DCP 2014 was adopted by Council on 23 March 2015 and came into effect on 17 April 2015.

Note: This page now includes the Amendment No. 3 to the DCP which took effect from 12 January 2017. The changes relate to site-specific controls for land at 164 Station Street, Penrith, contained within Section E11 Penrith.
